Being Green Is A Competitive Advantage

from the be-good,-make-money dept

A good article about how companies that are make technology decisions that are environmentally friendly can find that it has a positive effect on the bottom line. Many executives feel that environmentally friendly policies probably cost more, and have trouble accepting them. The article, however, shows why that's not true in many cases, and also has some suggestions on how to be more environmentally careful with technology decisions.

    This is why we set up Future Energies magazine. So many companies are still stuck in the 80's mentality that to be green is an expensive luxury. The reality is that being green can save a fortune, protect you from rolling black-outs, and in certain cases make your electricity meter go backwards as you contribute to the Grid and make a profit!

    FORD

    Ford acknowledges (not in this article, but in a press release earlier this year) that the output of their company is at odds with environmental preservation.

    What continues to piss me off is their continued self-congratulatory environmentalism while Excursions and Expeditions (with optional Titan V10 engine) aimed at suburban commuters continue to spill forth from Dearborn's factories, ultimately clogging California freeways and air.

    Ford's rhetoric is worse than pop-up-ads, record company lawsuits, and Ricochet's death combined!!!
